It’s only two rounds of games but a supercomputer has already predicted how things will end up in the points table of the ongoing Premier League 2022.
Manchester United, who have won the title the most number of times (13) but haven’t lifted the crown since 2012, have had a horrendous start to their campaign this year with two losses and are lagging at the bottom of the table. However, the supercomputer simulation by betting app SBK predicts that they could still make into the top six, The Sun reported.
Football expert Gary Neville recently remarked that the ‘Red Devils’ could finish in the worse half of the table and warned them over the question of Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit.
Teams such as Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal are all odds-on to finish in the top four of the tournament.
The supercomputer thinks Tottenham will emerge as the top London team to be at the third position, ahead of Chelsea while Arsenal could be at No.5.
Liverpool also had an ordinary start which means reigning champions Manchester City could go on to make a hat-trick of crowns this year and the seventh title overall. While the former have drawn their two games so far, against Fulham and Crystal Palace, the latter have beaten West Ham and Bournemouth. The Reds are expected to finish second despite their not-so-great form and injury problems.
Among other teams, the supercomputer has predicted that the two newly promoted teams — Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest — will go to the Championship along with Southampton.
Newcastle and Brighton are likely to finish as the best among the rest of the teams, ahead of West Ham and Aston Villa who complete the top 10.
